MEP Transfer Credit Policies

Students with prior post-secondary education from an accredited university or college may be eligible to apply for transfer credits to meet program requirements.

Transfer credits may be granted for elective courses, which include one Open Elective course, two Required Group 1 Gender and Women's Studies courses, and two upper year (3rd or 4th year) Required Group 2 Social Sciences courses that are health and/or midwifery related.

Transfer credit may also be granted for BLG 101 Anatomy and Physiology I and/or BLG 111 Anatomy and Physiology II.

‘MWF’ required courses in the preclinical and clinical curriculum are not eligible for transfer credit. In exceptional circumstances, transfer credit may be granted for MWF 113 Life Sciences.

The MEP does not offer challenge credits for any courses in the program.

Courses completed more than 10 years ago at the time of admission to the MEP will not be considered for transfer credit.

For detailed information about what is required, see the  (PDF file) MEP Transfer Credit Requirements Please note: Transfer credits do not reduce the time required to complete the program.

Transfer Credit Minimum Grade Requirements

  • Minimum grade of 60% or C- for courses completed at accredited universities.
  • Minimum grade of 70% or B- for courses completed at accredited colleges and institutes of technology. Some college courses are not eligible for transfer credit, even where the minimum grade requirement is met.
  • Only alpha or percentage grades are acceptable for transfer credit. Indicators such as PSD (passed), CRT (credit), EXP (exempt), EXM (exam) are not accepted.
  • Final and official certified academic transcripts must be received by the Transfer Credit Office to process transfer credit applications.

Transfer Credit Submission Process

Students are responsible to follow the transfer credit application process outlined on the University Transfer Credit website. Applications that do not follow this process will not be reviewed.

An advising session for incoming students about MEP transfer credit requirements will be provided in June. Incoming students should wait to apply for transfer credits following this advising session.

Course outlines must be provided for all transfer credit applications. In addition, applications for Required Group 1 and Group 2 applications must follow the  (PDF file) MEP Transfer Credit Requirements. This includes evidence of a writing component and its grade weighting for Required Group 1 and Group 2 applications, and evidence that courses submitted for Required Group 2 transfer credit are upper level courses (3rd or 4th year).

Applications must be submitted by the published Application Deadlines. Late fees may apply.

Students may submit a maximum of 5 course outlines for transfer credit consideration. Over submission will unduly increase the workload related to processing and may delay timely decisions for transfer credit applications.

For more information, see the University Transfer Credit Policies and Terms.

Monitoring Transfer Credit Decisions

All efforts are made to review transfer credit applications in a timely manner following receipt of all requirements.

Processing time may take up to eight (8) weeks.

It is the student’s responsibility to review transfer credits decisions in MyServiceHub.

When transfer credit decisions are not complete prior to the start of term, students must enroll or remain enrolled in elective or required courses until a decision is posted in their MyServiceHub account. Students may withdraw from any in-progress courses when the transfer credit is confirmed.

Once any transfer credits have been granted, students should run an Advisement Report in MyServiceHub to determine how the transfer credits meet program requirements.
